SolarWinds updates its heterogeneous storage management for Hybrid IT
SolarWinds has announced a feature-rich update to its heterogeneous storage performance and capacity management product, SolarWinds Storage Manager, which extends visibility into array performance and capacity with enhanced EMC monitoring, simplifies charting and reporting, and empowers IT Pros to customize their monitoring equipment with user-defined logical unit number (LUN) grouping.
SolarWinds Storage Manager works as part of a solution to provide end-to-end visibility for hybrid IT environments of applications, physical and virtual servers and storage. Storage Manager monitors performance and isolates hotspots in multi-vendor SAN devices while also mapping virtual machines to physical storage, automating storage capacity planning and reporting, and simplifying the analysis of usage and reclaiming storage space.
"Advanced technologies like solid-state disk (SSD), automated data tiering and thin provisioning are critical to maintaining storage performance and capacity, but vendor-specific management solutions don't always keep up with changing technology or the evolving needs of IT Pros," said Chris LaPoint, Vice-President of Product Management, SolarWinds.
Enhanced EMC monitoring provides management capabilities for EMC's FAST VP tiers and policies, and trending and forecasting for VMAX thin provisioning to determine when and how fast will the storage run out.
The integration between SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager, and SolarWinds Storage Manager offers the ability to manage the whole infrastructure, from applications, physical and virtual servers to storage, in the context of the applications it supports.
SolarWinds Storage Manager pricing starts at $2,995 and includes the first year of maintenance. For more information, including a downloadable, free 30-day evaluation, visit the SolarWinds website or call 866.530.8100.
